Welcome to any of you stopping by from D*S! Look around and feel at home. :) You can see all of my favorite projects on the right sidebar. We are currently making over our home and you can read about all the progress here. As to what our house looks like before, you can take a peek at your own risk! :) Thanks for dropping by!

Hi! Just found you via design*sponge and was totally impressed by your home before and afters... I really admire your drive and would love to have the time/patience/guts to renovate my own house (it's a total mess and I daydream constantly on painting walls, reupholstering and so on...) I'm a graphic designer from Uruguay, by the way, and there are not many bloggers around here either. I'm thinking of setting up a design blog of my own but can´t decide wether to make it in english, my mother tongue (spanish) or both... How did you decide to go for english rather than your mother tongue? Has it worked for you? Well, enough rambling... Good luck with your renovation, I can´t wait to see how everything turns out!

-Hi Lucia,Thanks for dropping by, and I'm super happy you like what you saw so far. I really do not have so much patience, haha, but I just take it one project at a time. If you get overwhelmed with all the stuff to be done, it will be frustrating. Do it slowly, and enjoy the process. :)

My decision to use english is quite easy, most websites/blogs here in the Philippines is in english as well, since everyone here knows how to speak the language. And I want to be part of a bigger community of design bloggers. :) Does your country speak english as well? If they do, then go for it. If not, then decide who you want your readers to be. Hope this helps! and I hope you actually do come back to read my reply! haha

Haha yes, I came back! As a matter of fact I'll be dropping by regularly to see how far you've come with your home renvation, I'm sure it will be a serious transformation when it's done! Thanks for the advice on tackling one thing at a time, I should keep that in mind :)

My country speaks mostly spanish, so if I intend to include them as well as the blogging community (which I do), the best way to go would be to write in both languages, hopefully I won't get too bored and drop out the second day :D
